Storm Watch

Hoping to capture some lightning pictures, Your Shot contributor Saranya Chalermchai sat with camera in hand on the 21st floor of a building as a storm passed over Bangkok. "At one point, I saw a little light coming from the clouds, and at that exact moment I pressed the shutter," she says. "The little [bit of] lightning had already expanded, giving me this amazing shot."

To get this shot at the precise moment that you did, is amazing in itself. The result is truly wonderful, and really beautiful. The city below stands out so clearly, and takes nothing away from the lightning, rather it enhances it, to a more etched photograph. j.e.s.
